Some will counter: But really, there is nothing to be done! Our mouths are gagged, no one listens to us, no one asks us. It is not “they” who are guilty of everything, but we ourselves, only we! We have internalized well the lessons drummed into us by the state we are forever content and comfortable with its premise: we cannot escape the environment, the social conditions they shape us, “being determines consciousness.” What have we to do with this? We can do nothing.īut we can do-everything!-even if we comfort and lie to ourselves that this is not so. We do not even fear a common nuclear death, do not fear a third world war (perhaps we’ll hide away in some crevice), but fear only to take a civic stance! We hope only not to stray from the herd, not to set out on our own, and risk suddenly having to make do without the white bread, the hot water heater, a Moscow residency permit.

We have lost our strength, our pride, our passion. We have so hopelessly ceded our humanity that for the modest handouts of today we are ready to surrender up all principles, our soul, all the labors of our ancestors, all the prospects of our descendants-anything to avoid disrupting our meager existence. “But what can we do to stop it? We haven’t the strength.” We are approaching the brink already a universal spiritual demise is upon us a physical one is about to flare up and engulf us and our children, while we continue to smile sheepishly and babble: But now we write and read samizdat and, congregating in the smoking rooms of research institutes, heartily complain to each other of all they are muddling up, of all they are dragging us into! There’s that unnecessary bravado around our ventures into space, against the backdrop of ruin and poverty at home and the buttressing of distant savage regimes and the kindling of civil wars and the ill-thought-out cultivation of Mao Zedong (at our expense to boot)-in the end we’ll be the ones sent out against him, and we’ll have to go, what other option will there be? And they put whomever they want on trial, and brand the healthy as mentally ill-and it is always “they,” while we are-helpless. There was a time when we dared not rustle a whisper. If many march together on this path of passive resistance, the whole inhuman system will totter and collapse. Even the most timid can take this least demanding step toward spiritual independence. And his last word before leaving his homeland urges Soviet citizens as individuals to refrain from cooperating with the regime’s lies. Solzhenitsyn equates “lies” with ideology, the illusion that human nature and society can be reshaped to predetermined specifications. On the day Solzhenitsyn was arrested, February, 12, 1974, he released the text of “Live Not by Lies.” The next day, he was exiled to the West, where he received a hero’s welcome. not that i can see a 200 yard gong well enough to shoot it, it was a fairly big gong, but once he found the range he grouped them on it. There is a video around the web that shows someone shooting slugs at 200 yards from an 18 inch cylinder bore barrel. and it will perform at a level close to the 45/70. i can transport this setup thru canada without raising eyebrows at customs. i forget, it's around 495gr which replaces the 1-1/8 oz load according to a chart. I put them into an opened bird shot shell, after dumping the shot. 69 round ball mold, and when i explore casting i will hard cast this rb.

I've equated the forensic performance of the heavy for caliber 45/70 load to the 12Ga slug terminal performance. Picked up an NOE slug mold that offers either hollow base or solid, the solid runs 575gr when cast of L#2 lead. Grizz, the 12ga Lyman sabot slug runs about 525gr when cast of pure lead and will go about 1400fps with some loads in the Lyman shotgun manual. I'm over 70, heavy, have COPD, and diabetes.IF I had WuFlu, why didn't I get really sick? It was never more than feeling tired, messed up taste and smell, with a slight cough that could have been attributed to the COPD? My Daughter had it, and was very, very sick for a few days. I have used it several times successfully I don't know the specific statistics for the other vaccines but if you got the Pfizer vaccine you are over 80% MORE likely to get covid than if you didn't get vaccinated.įLCCC's protocol for prolonged CoVid using ivermectin, low-dose naltrexone, and as appropriate steroid has a good success rate. Long Covid? Or, got it again after two jabs and a booster I've lost my smell and taste again.third time? Just feel tired, temp went down to 96 for a few hours, is all. Funny.I had to to Tacoma General Horsepittle for some imageing.I surely didn't notice much crowding.More (non existent ) flu than anything else, I'd imagine.
